spring training TV is usually fluid...adding and subtracting broadcast games...
first cubs TV (as of now) is March 3 (wednesday) on ESPN at 3pm EST.
radio broadcasts available for almost every game that's not televised. the cubs get going on monday and some other teams will start the day before.

AAA leagues really need to play through the month of September, because with September rosters being limited to 28 instead of 40, players will need to be moved back & forth between MLB and AAA throughout the month of September instead of just through the month of August.

I get you, SW. Here in Des Moines, Cardinal fans flocked to I-Cub games when Memphis Redbirds were in town. That won't happen in '21 and even if it does in '22 & beyond it won't be as frequent as when they were in the same division. Not that I'll miss seeing Cardinal gear @ our ballpark...

Ervin claimed by Braves. So we lose a potential future (and also current) asset in exchange for one year of a very mediocre Jake Marisnick.
This team has no direction at the moment.

As a midwest kid now living in Texas, new scheduling is a bummer. Only get a chance to drive and see Cubs once every 3 years with interleague. Really looked forward to those games in Round Rock and the one season in San Antonio. I understand it makes more sense in the big picture, just selfishly disappointed.

welcome to the "big time" st paul saints...they built a nice park, the fans showed up, and they go from indies to AAA (with a bit of $ help from the twins for part ownership).
billy murray is a part owner of the group that owns the saints, btw.

VA PHIL: I only mentioned it because Eloy Jimenez somewhat resembles Jorge Soler physically, and I thought it was interesting that Jimenez (in particular) got Soler's old number 68 when most of the in-house NRI and even some of the guys on the 40-man roster (Andreoli, Caratini, Hannemann, Rosario, Underwood, Zagunis, Acevedo, P. Johnson, T. Davis, Young, Happ, R. Williams, et al) were issued generic "Spring Training numbers" in the 70's and 80's.
As for why Soler wore #68, it probably was just a matter of keeping the number he was first issued in Spring Training, but it did become associated with him while he was a Cub (there were jerseys sold with his name & number on them), and because of that, Cubs #68 is probably no longer just another generic "Spring Training number." It's Jorge Soler's old number.
It just always seemed like

Just as a Point of Information, Kevin Cornelius MUST be assigned to the Iowa squad, because a player selected in the AAA Phase of the Rule 5 Draft MUST be assigned to the AAA affiliate's squad at Minor League Camp for at least 15 days, but then the player can be assigned to any affiliate once the season starts.

@Buster_ESPN 2m2 minutes ago MLB strips Cards of their first two picks in '17 draft (56, 75 overall) and fines them $2 million; money and picks forwarded to Astros.

seems a little on the weak end, nice for Astros 2017 draft. Cards only with a little over $2M in draft money this year, but it's a 2nd round and supplemental 2nd round pick and the $2M is chump change.
It's helpful being chummy

The team penalties seem about
The $2M fine payable to the
The $2M fine payable to the Astros is almost exactly the combined Signing Bonus Pool (SBP) slot values for the two 2017 draft picks (#56 and #75) forfeited to the Astros by the Cardinals, so the Astros should be able to sign both draft picks essentially for free (that is, with Cardinal money) while increasing their own 2017 Rule 4 Draft SBP (the money they will be allowed to spend without penalty) for all of their other selections in the first ten rounds by $1,853,200 (the combined slot values of the two Cardinal draft picks). And that would allow the Astros to pay significant "overslot" bonuses (if they so choose) to some of their 2017 draft picks (including the two draft picks they get from the Cardinals) that they might not otherwise have been able to sign for "slot money."

we have this on Farris in case anyone is a fan: @sahadevsharma Re: Farris, he has a fringy slider and Cubs were considering bringing back his curve from amateur days. Looks like purely a reliever.
Butler was once upon a time a pretty big pitching prospect, (#24 in baseball before 2014). But he's had shoulder issues almost since he was first called up in 2014 and got DFA'd last week when they signed Holland. His numbers are pretty ugly looking the last 3 years. Maybe getting away from Coors/Denver will help.

Az Phil,
CHILDERS: I would tend to
CHILDERS: I would tend to agree with that.
Two possible changes (though less than 50% chance for both):
1. Caleb Smith > Edwards or Grimm (Smith is a Rule 5 draft pick and can't be sent to the minors until waivers are secured AND the Yankees decline to reclaim him, and both Edwards & Grimm have minor league options left and neither can refuse an Optional Assignment)
2. Jemile Weeks > LaStella (IF Weeks proves his hamstring is 100%)
And of course injuries change everything.
I agree that Szczur (who is out of minor league options) is a goner (by trade or lost off waivers) unless an outfielder starts the season on the DL, so the Cubs might not make final disposition with regard to Szczur until the very end of Spring Training.
Damn. I just learned how to
